Weird But Cool Tech You Didn’t Know You Needed in 2025
Let’s be honest—most of us love a little weirdness in our gadgets, especially when it actually helps. I tested some of the strangest tech I could find in 2025, and to my surprise, many of them were both fun and functional.
If you love finding those hidden gems, this list is for you.
☕ 1. Ember Smart Mug² – Self-Heating Mug That Keeps Coffee Hot
- Why it’s weird:
- Keeps coffee at your ideal temp for 1.5 hours
- App-controlled temperature setting
- Looks like a regular mug… but isn’t
I didn’t realize I needed this until I stopped reheating my coffee 5x a day.
💨 2. LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier
- Yes, it’s real:
- A mask-like air purifier with fans + HEPA filters
- Filters out dust and allergens
- Rechargeable and surprisingly comfortable
Odd looking? Sure. Useful in polluted areas or allergy season? Absolutely.
👓 3. VITURE XR Lite Glasses – Wearable Display
- Why it blew my mind:
- Projects a virtual screen viewable only by the wearer
- Connects to phones, consoles, laptops
- Looks like slightly bulky sunglasses
Your private Netflix binge while flying just got cooler.
📏 4. Upright GO 3 – Smart Posture Trainer
- How it works:
- Small device attaches to your back or shirt
- Vibrates when you slouch
- Tracks posture via app
My back thanks me. So does my productivity.
🔊 5. Soundcore Sleep A10 – Earbuds Made for Sleeping
- Weird but welcome:
- Tiny, ultra-soft design
- White noise + Bluetooth support
- Built-in sleep tracking
Comfy enough to forget they’re in—finally, sleep tech that doesn’t feel like tech.
